Biography by Makoley Kalkin
After the grandiose success of the Christmas comedy, critics and journalists vying vied with the most talented child-actor and read a brilliant filmmaker, but after just seven years his fall began, even more rapid than take-off. The World Glory and Big Honorary of Kalkin remained in the past, and he was forced to grow up early, pass the test of glory and for many years to fight drug and alcohol dependencies.
As part of the cycle of materials about the difficulties in the life of celebrities “Tape. The free fall of the forgotten idol in the year, 22 years after the release of the comedy “One Home”, the world flooded with photographs of the matured Kalkin, in which he looked very thin, haggard and similar to an inveterate drug addict. Soon after, the paparazzi caught the actor at the moment when he was sick on the street in front of the passers -by.
As a result, numerous revealing articles with loud headlines were not forced to wait. The journalists of the tabloids, citing insiders, stated that Macolia is firmly sitting on the heroine and oxycodon, an opioid painkiller, suffering from alcoholism and generally finally sank, because the next time his name will appear on the pages of the media except in the section of Necrologists.
This is a real tragedy. His friends are afraid that he will have an overdose or simply can not stand his heart.
If he is not helped and sent to a rehabilitation center, he can die for six months, ”wrote National Enquerr Kalkin fiercely denied all the charges, calling them“ grotesque delirium ”. However, they believed not to him, but to reporters. And there were every reason, because it was precisely a year and a half before that the actor was thrown by Mila Kunis, with whom he was in a relationship for eight years.
And the depression intensified after a severe rupture allegedly became the reason why Makoli sat down on severe drugs and tried to take accounts with life. They managed to pump him out only because someone from his close circle managed to call doctors. It seemed that there was nowhere to fall further, but how, from the presenting hope of a young star, he rolled to the bottom?
Makole Kalkin with Mila Kunis, year. By the time of the birth of Makoley, he had already said goodbye to the stage and worked as a minister in the church, but he decided to realize all his ambitions in children. As soon as Makole, four of his brothers and two sisters began to walk, Christopher immediately led them to the castings. At the same time, he was never interested in whether the children want to be actors, whether they like to act in a particular project - they were simply confronted with the fact.
In an interview, Makoli admitted that his father was despotic and applied threats and physical strength to achieve his own. It was clear to the children in the Kalkin family that they should always be allocated on a percentage on the site, otherwise Macale was not even for a four-year-old penalty when he entered the stage of the New York Philharmonic as a dancer. He later said that in those days the scumbags seemed so huge to him that he was afraid to remain unnoticed on them, so he tried to pronounce his remarks louder than anyone else.
Just a year after the debut in the theater, the boy first appeared in the cinema - in a tiny role in the comedy horror "Midnight". True, it is impossible to find it out in this project because of a mask on the face. Then the young actor took part in one of the episodes of the Egengister Popular in America. In the year, after three years of unsuccessful auditions in Hollywood, the young Makole received the first noticeable role - in the family comedy “Rocket on Gibraltar”, in which he played one of the two grandchildren of the protagonist.
In m he took part in the film "Uncle Buck", on the set of which he met director John Hughes. This meeting has become a happy ticket for the boy. Houses liked the work of a young actor in the frame so much that he, after he wrote the Christmas comedy script “One Home”, immediately suggested that the director Chris Columbus consider the candidacy of Makoley for the main role. From the nomination for the Golden Globe to the Golden Raspberries, Odin Home was released at the end of the year and had a deafening success all over the world.
The audience warmly accepted the picture, critics were not so favorable, but they unanimously noted the huge artistic talent of Kalkin. For the role of Kevin McCalister, he was awarded the title of "Child of the Year" and several awards as the best comedic. Many directors wanted to see a star boy in their films, but he did not have the right to vote in choosing projects - his father single -handedly ruled his career.
Only Christopher could decide in which paintings his son would be starred and what the size of his fee would be. Moreover, the appetites of the head of the family grew exponentially: if Makoli received thousands of dollars for “one at home”, then for the drama “my girl” is already a million dollars, and for “one at home: lost in New York” two years later-completely 4.5 million.
For work in this project, he received five million dollars, but his attempt to change the role and try on the image of the villain did not gain the approval of critics.For work in projects such as “how to cope with the father” and “rich Ricci”, the young actor received eight million, meanwhile, none of these ribbons could even approach the success of history about the resourceful Kevin McCacher.
Moreover, both of these films, like the painting “Lord of the pages”, not only failed at the box office, but also brought Kalkin a nomination for the “Golden Raspberry” anti -aircraft. Christopher Kalkin was not embarrassed by the endless failures of projects with the participation of his son. He persistently sought to increase the fees for the “golden child”, and at the same time tried to turn into movie stars and younger children.
For the sake of this purpose, when signing the contracts, Makoley Kalkin-Sr., as one of the prerequisite, put forward participation in his brother and sister. Soon, producers and directors simply did not want to deal with him, since the requirements put forward by him did not meet the results. Yes, and Makole himself suddenly told his parents that he was tired of his acting career and wants to take a break.
Kalkin managed to withdraw the divorce from his parents in the cinema in the cinema in 14 large projects - when signing contracts and drawing up the working schedule, the father did not make any discounts on his son's young age. Due to the strong employment and constant ridicule of classmates, Makoley even had to quit school temporarily. The boy complained to his parents that he was tired of endless filming and the same type of roles, but his father did not want to hear anything.
My father was imperious. He kept everything under control. He was always like that, even before my success. He wanted to make sure that I know my place in childhood, I had no chance to be a child. I retired at the age of 14 Macaly Kalkin, Kalkin's desire to complete his career caused conflicts between his parents. While the father demanded that the boy continue to work, his mother sided with her son and insisted that he never starred again.
The woman accused her husband of breaking the life of their children, depriving them of normal childhood. In the year, the couple divorced and for two years fought in court for custody of minor children. During the trial, information surfaced that Christopher repeatedly beat his wife and applied physical violence against children. Makoli later stated that he could demonstrate all the scars that remained on his body after communicating with his father.
But not only guardianship was the subject of a showdown of parents. They also fought in order to obtain control of the trust fund, which stored Macolee earned $ 17 million. In the end, a fifteen -year -old teenager, tired of financial disputes, decided in court to transfer his money to a third -party agent in court. Everyone always misunderstands that I was “freed” from my parents. I deleted their names from the trust fund legally and found a performer who could look after my finances if someone wants a piece of this fucking pie.
But then it turned out that I divorced my parents. I just thought that I was doing everything right - I cross out my fatherly and mother’s name so that my opinion does not depend on anyone. When I did this, it all ended many times faster than Makole Kalkin as a result, the right of custody went to the mother, and the money earned by Makolem was transferred to the control of his personal accountant.
Disappointed with this decision, Christopher Kalkin forever disappeared from the life of his ex -wife and children. Alcohol, drugs and no rock and roll loud trial, quarry sugar and family problems were shaken by Kalkin’s mental health. For 10 years he completely stopped acting, only occasionally played in theatrical productions, studied at a private school and tried to live a “normal life”.
In an attempt to become happy at 17, he married actress Rachel Miner, whom he met at school. However, a hasty marriage fell apart two years later. At the same time, relations with the mother, brothers and sisters of the actor began to be cool, but it was not possible to return to the cinema. In the year he was invited to take part in the Club Mania comedy.
The picture quickly became cult and received good reviews of critics, but there was no loud Cumbek. In the same year, Kalkin could revive his career and get stable earnings and the status of a superstar - the creators of the series “Big Bang Theory” invited the actor to perform one of the main roles in the show three times, but he rejected all their proposals. I was very flattered, but no.
Even my manager twisted my hands to convince me to star in the series. If I took up this role, I would have earned hundreds of millions of dollars now. On the other hand, in this case, I would fight with my head against the wall of Makole Kalkin after this large roles did not have the actor until the American Murphy show “American Horror Story” published in the year of the year.
Partly the development of Kalkin’s career was interfered with tabloids, partly strong depression and dependence with which he fought for many years. The glory of the brawle and the drunkard entrenched in Makoley when he was not even 20 years old, and soon rumors of his drug addiction crawled. In the year, the actor was detained on charges of drug storage. The car in which he was driving as a passenger was stopped by the police for violating the rules of the road and speeding.
Kalkin confiscated the grass and strong antidepressants, which he did not have a prescription. After the interrogation, he was released on bail of four thousand dollars, but his photograph from the police station leaked to the press. At that moment, it became clear that the actor had serious problems. But he stubbornly refused to admit that he was suffering from depression and drug addiction.
Good ideas always come to me when I am drunk. What can you do? This is probably my feature, with which I put up with Makole Kalkin, meanwhile, Kalkin’s mental state worsened even more because of the family tragedy: in the year his sister Dakota was shot down by the car, and she died of injuries. Macoli was heavily experienced by loss and even more strongly hooked on prohibited substances and alcohol.
Up to a year, he constantly played with his life and health, but refused to be treated, because he believed that "he never went so far as to ask someone for help." And these rumors almost became true: after breaking up with Mila Kunis, which, according to the representatives of the actress, was “friendly and painless”, Makole made a suicide. Only after that he was forcibly sent to a rehabilitation center for drug addicts, where he passed a long course of treatment.
For the first time, the actor spoke about his struggle for sobriety only in the year - before that he fiercely denied even hints. I would not be the person who I am now if there were once no drugs in my life. I had several vivid experiments - but at the same time it was very stupid, you know? So with the exception of a couple of relaxing pieces, I do not take drugs. But I still drink like a fish.
